I agree this year's defense is ballin their ass off. I'm saying that last years defense was not the reason they were losing those close games.

There is only two guestions Sam has to provide answers to to silence his critics; 1.) Can he bounce back from a bad start? B.) Can he carry the offense if his targets are not helping? (Although this one is more for the Fields faithful). If he can answer the first for me I would sleep better before our games.

She has enough ass for half the team. Did I say that out loud?

Last year's defense, as bad as it was, gave the offense enough opportunities to win a lot of games last season. If they win half of those we would have been in the playoffs. Just saying. The biggest up grade in the offseason was at the qb position. The offense will determine the Panthers fate once again but this time the defense is much stouter and may win a game or two on their own.

That's cold. I still lol'd

Yes. Unless it's Butker I wouldn't even consider it.

That is probably how it will start and what Huston will expect.

Well to be fair I do remember similar comments on here during the Clausen season, though only one season it was tough to witness. Honestly you could probably find similar posts on here from games past.

I could just simply be who the first two teams defense decided to double cover to take out of the game. Without watching the game tape I couldn't say for sure but that would be my first guess. Now that DJ is showing out the opposition will now have to double the coverage on both. I noticed NO was doubling up on DJ in the second half of that game but I didn't really notice that in the first half because I was focusing a lot of attention on out offensive line.

As long as the Panthers continue to play hard and fast I like our chances. But this game is not going to be a cake walk by no means. The team better not start listening to the hype around them and just focus on the next opponent. If they do not stay focused it could go sideways quickly.

I hope somehow we can come out of the draft with one of them. Especially the one Fittererrreeerrrr wants.

Dude his bank account makes him look like an Adonis. Money hides a lot of ugly, at least on the outside anyway.

How many of those a true LT's?

This will not be an issue. As long as they win it doesn't matter who slinging the ball or how far. He was just being a fan like the rest of us. Who doesn't like to see long bombs for touchdowns? But deep down he knows like most of us that that is the exception and not the rule.

That's the worst hype speech that I have ever seen and brother I've seen plenty. That will haunt me the rest of my days.

I don't think the Saints would have believed that either. I don't think they have come to grips with as of 5 o'clock today. Maybe tomorrow it will set in.

Talk about a brain fart! I think I remember that as well. These kids have not seen the amount of stupid you and I have lived through my friend. Rhule has his work cut out for him to get that bad.

You are correct. It will be key to success in this upcoming game as well. Stop the run and pressure the qb, defense 101.

This too. It just felt so awkward for all of them that whatever they did I just knew it was going to blow up in their faces. But I am thrilled that something good came from the ashes of the corpse of past regime.

That is a key reason they are trending up. It allows them to do so much with the defense.

I was skeptical because Hurney was doing one of his hold my beer moments. And yes that FSU and DE's stigma thing was in the back of my mind. I had that same twitch reaction about Darnold and the USC QB stigma. What do I know?

I think the Saints still cannot believe what happened to them. Sean will not let himself believe that Rhule and his band of misfits could possibly kick their asses so convincingly that it set a record for him and his team. There is no chance in hell that could happen. Right? fug the Saints.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like an asshole. I was speaking out loud to myself mostly trying to figure out who it was. I lurked for nearly 10 years or more but I started chiming in because it finally dawned in me that not a single one of us know what we are talking about. But at the end of the day we are all Panthers fans. Odd fact, I have not started a single thread on this forum since 2008.

That is when the current Huddle was established because the old one crashed. Igo allowed everyone to create new usernames, which has now turned into the new alt craze. Must be Igloo.

The defense has to prove its capable of getting off the field on 3rd down with a higher percentage rate than last year. That was their Achilles heel. That and stopping the run constantly will determine how they are ranked at seasons end. So far they have shown improvement in both areas.
